FFF 2004 Program.Qxd 1 Welcome to the 10th Annual Fargo Film Festival On the eve of the 10th Annual Fargo Film Festival, I am literally assaulted with a kaleidoscope of images from past festivals. The frames flickering through my memory banks are as compelling and evocative as an unexpected encounter with a Northern Lights display in the vast North Dakota night sky. Images that include melting glass, huge balls of twine, Antarctic explorers, one-legged dancers and fighting cholitas. Scenes that are set in drug stores, kitchens, “chaplets,” elevators, subway systems, Hollywood mansions and cottages at the shore. And then there are the hundreds of faces of the very real and extraordinarily dedicated people who have shared this journey with me. Of all of these volunteers, few have made more of a contribution than our 2010 Ted M. Larson Award recipient, Tony McRae. My congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Tony and to all of you who have enriched the Fargo Film Festival with your creative energy and enthusiasm. Margie Bailly Emily Beck A welcome back to my old friend, Rob Nilsson and a festival “high five” to all our new FARGO THEATRE FARGO THEATRE filmmakers! Let the movies begin!

  • Francis Ford Coppola En Ouverture
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE N°1 Jeudi 22 décembre 2011 La 19e édition du Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer se tiendra : du mercredi 25 janvier au dimanche 29 janvier 2012 RON PERLMAN JEAN-JACQUES ANNAUD FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA LE JURY LONGS METRAGES EXTRÊME HOMMAGE à RON PERLMAN La dix-neuvième édition du Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer rendra HOMMAGE au comédien américain : RON PERLMAN. Le Nom de la rose La Cité des enfants perdus Alien, la résurrection Blade II Hellboy En plus de trente ans de carrière, Ron Perlman a joué aussi bien au cinéma qu’à la télévision et au théâtre. Après avoir obtenu une maîtrise d’art à l’université du Minnesota, il est retourné à New York, dont il est originaire, pour y entamer une carrière au théâtre, interprétant aussi bien les œuvres de dramaturges contemporains tels que Pinter et Beckett que d’auteurs classiques comme Shakespeare, Marlowe, Ibsen et Tchekhov. Il s’est récemment produit de nouveau à Broadway dans « Des hommes d’honneur » et « Bus Stop ». Ron Perlman se tourne vers le cinéma au début des années 80 en jouant coup sur coup dans deux longs métrages de Jean-Jacques Annaud: LA GUERRE DU FEU pour lequel il a reçu une nomination aux Genie Awards, l’équivalent canadien des Oscars – et LE NOM DE LA ROSE dans le rôle du bossu Salvatore. Il a poursuivi sa collaboration avec des cinéastes français en tournant sous la direction de Jean-Pierre Jeunet et Marc Caro dans LA CITÉ DES ENFANTS PERDUS, avant de retrouver Jean-Pierre Jeunet pour ALIEN, LA RÉSURRECTION avec Sigourney Weaver et Winona Ryder.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Indie 80S, a Comprehensive, 60+ Film Series Highlighting the Decade Between 70S New Hollywood and the 90S Indie Boom, Jul 17—Aug 27
    BAMcinématek presents Indie 80s, a comprehensive, 60+ film series highlighting the decade between 70s New Hollywood and the 90s indie boom, Jul 17—Aug 27 Co-presented by Cinema Conservancy The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/June 11, 2015—From Friday, July 17 through Thursday, August 27, BAMcinématek and Cinema Conservancy present Indie 80s, a sweeping survey of nearly 70 films from the rough-and-tumble early days of modern American independent cinema. An aesthetic and political rebuke to the greed-is-good culture of bloated blockbusters and the trumped-up monoculture of Reagan-era America, Indie 80s showcases acclaimed works like Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise (1984—Jul 18), David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986—Aug 8), and Steven Soderbergh’s sex, lies, and videotape (1989—Aug 14) alongside many lesser- known but equally accomplished works that struggled to find proper distribution in the era before studio classics divisions. Filmmakers including Ross McElwee, William Lustig, Rob Nilsson, and more will appear in person to discuss their work. Like the returning expatriate’s odyssey in Robert Kramer’s four-hour road movie Route One/USA (1989—Aug 16), a sampling of 80s indie cinema comprises an expansive journey through the less-traveled byways of America. From the wintry Twin Cities of the improvised, hilariously profane road trip Patti Rocks (1988—Aug 25) to the psychopath’s stark Chicago hunting grounds in John McNaughton’s Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986—Jul 29) to the muggy Keys of Florida in filmmaker Victor Nuñez’s eco-thriller A Flash of Green (1984—Aug 12), regional filmmakers’ cameras canvassed an America largely invisible to Hollywood.

    FILM IN SYRACUSE 1 FILM IN SYRACUSE Special Letter From The Artistic Director, Owen Shapiro PEACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE is the focus of this year’s Syracuse International Film Festival. In 2009 Le Moyne College initiated a festival showcase of films dealing with the theme of Peace and Social Justice, and since that time has sponsored and hosted this showcase. In 2012 this theme takes on even greater significance in light of the death of Bassel Shahade, a Graduate student in Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts’ Film Program. Bassel was killed while training citizen journalists in his home country of Syria to document with video what was happening there. Bassel’s love for his people and desire to help them fight for political, social, and economic freedom led to his decision to take a leave from his studies in Syracuse. Bassel’s honesty, personal integrity, and love for peace and opportunity were acutely felt by all who knew him. He was a model fighter for peace and social justice. Peace and Social Justice when seen in terms of the individual’s right to equal opportunity and respect regardless of economic class, race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or religion also must include a person’s physical and/or mental abilities or disabilities. In this sense, peace and social justice includes another long-standing feature of our festival - Imaging Disability in Film, a program created by the School of Education at Syracuse University. Peace and Social Justice is about equality, fairness, and equal opportunity, basic values of all major religions and of all democratic societies.

The pioneering French filmmaker joins us from Paris on November 4 to discuss several of her political, yet highly personal, films, including two made in the Bay Area in the late 1960s, and for a public conversation with UC Berkeley professor Linda Williams after a screening of The Gleaners and I on November 5. We round out the series with two of her important early films:La Pointe Courte (1954), which is considered an important precursor to the French New Wave—in a new 35mm print!—and a digital restoration of Cléo from 5 to 7, the 1961 film that established Varda’s international reputation. The International Federation of Film Archives presented Varda with the FIAF Award earlier this year, citing her ongoing work “to preserve, restore and disseminate her oeuvre as well as that of Jacques Demy.” “The relationship between Agnès Varda and cinematheques is a long love story,” said FIAF president Eric Le Roy. “Cinematheques The New BAM/PFA around the world feel that Agnès Varda has always been on their side, as she has never stopped traveling to present her films in those institutions which preserve, Hard demolition is almost complete, below-grade excavation is restore, and project them.” p.
